Twitter is probably the worst thing to happen to sports. Stupid, self-absorbed jocks have always said stupid, self-absorbed things, but now Twitter offers them an instantly-accessible public forum for it.

Now they can bitch about not getting paid, have virtual posse-wars with other celebrities, make thick-headed remarks about sensitive issues, and do it all without the buffer of a PR gatekeeper. The very people they've hired to keep them from looking stupid have had their jobs rendered irrelevant by mobile-app communication platforms.

I think it's great too.

I blame 'Survivor' and 'Real World'.

Actually I follow very few athletes. I follow more media and TCF people than anything. It's a news source Cass. Just as you can avoid the Housewives of Orange County on TV and watch news 24/7 if you care to you can avoid LBJ and Boobie on Twitter.

Like Howard Stern says; people can turn it off whenever they want. Oh, BTW, Howard is also now on Twitter.

I enjoy it regardless.

offers me a peek into their lives I normally wouldn't get as joe fan. From appearances reggie hodges seems to be a really good guy. Ned Flanders-esque.

dig all the people I can follow as well, ranging from people in the media, tcf, and comedians.

depends on what you use it for really.

I'm sooooo glad that they are back to BFF's. Boobie has just been, like, totally bummed out since those tweets, ya know? My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Boobie pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Which is why it is awesome.

The Customers will now know precisely what they choose to pay for, esp if these idiots replace the patriotism that follows CityState and Team with the cult of lack of personality.

Then only Lee will be left. Won't be casue he's wrong. It'll be casue we too damn dumb.
